Gerwyn Price reigns in Riesa again with 'The Iceman' picking up the International Darts Open for the fourth time and not only back-to-back titles in a happy hunting ground for the Welshman but also on the European Tour after winning last week in Leverkusen.
Price eased past Michael van Gerwen 8-4 in the final who could not withstand the barrage with a 105 average, four 180's and 42.1% on the doubles in victory from the former. The purple patch firmly continues.
Van Gerwen missed 164 on the bull for a hold and Price hit back with a 134 checkout using two double 20’s. Both couldn’t get onto the nine-dart finish but started perfect on Price’s throw but it was a 2-0 lead for ‘The Iceman’.
He missed 116 for a 3-0 lead but Van Gerwen squandered two darts to hold. Only for Price to miss three darts to seal a double break and MVG made it 2-1.
MVG missed the bull with a 124 spurned and Price returned to miss 110 allowing MVG another chance but he was left chasing around the board and the Welshman hit double 20 to make it 3-1.
It was a fourth maximum for MVG but doubles continued to desert him and Price broke again at 4-1. A 76 checkout saw Price consolidate for 5-1.
An 84 checkout on double 11 saw Price go 6-1 up. Price missed 121 for a 7-1 lead and after leaving 42 after nine, he broke back at 6-2.
MVG missed more darts again though but received a reprieve with Price missing darts to go one away. Price finally went one away with a 54 checkout at 7-3.
Price had a leg off and Van Gerwen held at 7-4 and ‘The Iceman’ hit a 56 checkout for the win.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
